LGR Plays - Fez

[@Yusuke_Denton]

Clever little game. I'm happy you pointed out the silliness of the phrase "let's play" and that you don't use that as the title of your videos.

[@LGR]

Glad to hear! I'm always playing games, so I figure I may as well record them and post them to pass the time in-between "full reviews".

[@LGR]

Well I got bored of it before long, but what I mostly did was what I showed in my Minecraft videos: mined way deep down, explored the vast environments to see what else was there as it was generated around me, and built ridiculously detailed mountain homes or treetop fortresses. It's fantastic for my sense of exploration without purpose, just going out and seeing what happens in this surreal world. But that does get stale before long.

[@LGR]

Yes, it's a shame there is no PC release at this point. Atmosphere, this game has it in blissful abundance. Hopefully someday!

[@LGR]

Hehe, thanks, I'm always aiming to improve and vary my content! And rest assured, several hardware reviews and assorted videos are incoming :)

[@LGR]

There's actually an Oddware video coming this weekend!

[@linusevosonic]

The Soundtrack is an absolut Masterpiece I even got it on my Mobile Audio Player.

[@LGR]

The next video is going to be pretty close!

[@LGR]

I don't recall ever saying I would. Or that I even own one! I had some machines with them back in the day, but I don't own any at the moment. If I ever get another, maybe I will.

[@JimPlaysGames]

I second that. VVVVVV is awesome, and has some epic chiptune style goodness.

[@vee6460]

LGR: oh no black hole! * gets sucked in* ... *jumps In the black hole again* Me: *facepalms*

[@invaderzgr]

I'm glad you always give a positive and happy outlook on your comments. You gave a smiling face to a "hata". Keep doing what you're doing, man. No one else does it like you ;D

[@8BitPicklez]

You keep in rolling these LGR Plays, lovin' it! ;D

[@pacmanpaquette]

Thanks for introducing me to this game, now i wont get anything done :). No seriously, props for those great videos, introductions and reviews! You got me into gaming again.

[@LGR]

Honestly, it's because of its Blade Runner-esque tones that the soundtrack appeals to me! Heavily inspired or rip-off, whatever the case may be it's awesome.

[@LGR]

Maybe it is now, I haven't played it in a year or so. With Minecraft Alpha there was absolutely no point at all, it really was just kind of an abstract art tool. You just went around and explored while interacting with the environment however you wanted to. Even with the current Minecraft, I don't think it's a stated required goal that you collect items and build things, it's just one of many options.

[@LGR]

People complain when they think I have too few videos, complain when I don't have enough videos, and complain to complain, so I say screw it. Feel free not to watch if you don't want to, that should solve your problems :)

[@q306005]

This whole game gives me a Katamari Damacy vibe, so when you mentioned Katamari, I totally flipped! LOL!

[@capodastaro]

Keep these LGR Plays going, they are all kinds of flannel shirt rad!

[@R33Racer]

Really liking these regular uploads dude. + 10 Internet Points!

[@capacamaru]

Wasn't sure if you'd intended it or not, very punny indeed. That's why we're here watchin'

[@roboticpigeon42]

Hey, just popped into say that I wholeheartedly agree with you phreakindee that the soundtrack is Pure. Liquid. Awesome.

[@raymfa]

Love your answers:) "don't recall" and "maybe i will", you'd be a great politician if that was your lot in life.

[@LGR]

Probably because it was uploaded a year ago.

[@keipaglows]

Also can't stop admiring visuals in game, can't remember something this appealing to good old 16-bit style games. Colors, music by Disasterpeace, such a nice world to play with.. GoooOood, why only XBLA.

[@iLife64]

Im 16 years old, but despite that age, I still prefer any programmable audio devices(like midi over mt-32 or SB16) over any todays hifi 7.1 stereo systems...Yamaha chips made the best sounds in the day...

[@Singular8ty]

That chest opening scene seriously sounded like LoZ. Cool! I already have the game on Steam via an HIB, so I also have it DRM-free via HIB.

[@finomans]

i'm defenitly buying this one. played the demo and loved it

[@MinoTheShow]

I think it's weird how much better your voice, look, and production values are compared to when you started. I like the hardware reviews the best, especially the old computers and failed consoles.

[@DiddlyDiPotatoes]

Your Duke impression is incredibly impressive. I'm starting to wonder if people have asked you to do voice acting for them.

[@LGR]

I'm also wondering about what happens to our games on XBLA and such when the next generation comes around. Even games on Steam because frick, that's DRM and you just never know. Now, I buy games on these services because they're convenient (and affordable when you get a sale) but if I have a DRM-free option I go for that anytime. Basically weighing the the balance between how much I want the game vs. cost vs. the risk of the service. DRM-free I'll pay more, DRM games need to cost less to appeal

[@Dewotto]

The Doctor's magic perspective changing fez.

[@Jasper_Hill]

Is that a tesseract floating around? How poetic, a game played on 2 dimensions, on a 3 dimensional plane, with a theoretical 4 dimensional object.

[@GarbageGamerz]

I deal with that a lot lol, my secret is to ignore it because i know what its about. I am a proud backer of it and a full supporter of the indie scene. I believe its where the best and most original ideas come from.

[@seancoyne3298]

Looks fantastic

[@Yusuke_Denton]

Like the man said, the Duke abides.

[@metabog]

Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic.

[@y3ivan]

ooh got your point. I started playing games during 1990's where most games are DRM free and are disc based. I didnt like the idea when steam introduced 2003, forcing buyers to attached their games to their accounts. Over the years i start to forget whats its all about.

[@carbonwater]

A whole review in Duke's voice please. :]

[@ebbafin]

I love indie games :D this is great !

[@Erdie5]

Reminds me of Crush on the PSP. That was a great game!

[@kanedaBJF]

I'm having flashbacks of Lemmings 3-D. Wait...no...I'm having fictional flashbacks of how Lemmings 3-D probably should have been.

[@keipaglows]

If they release FEZ on pc my life will be complete, or something like this, completer i think.. Crossed all fingers i could found.

[@raymfa]

Remember what happened when the intel 386 replaced the intel 286?

[@LGR]

I take it you haven't been keeping up with my videos because nothing has changed. Hardware reviews are still being made, and regular reviews are still out once a week. Same since 2009. If something has changed, I'm not aware of it. Sure, I'm trying new things in between the normal stuff, because frankly after three years of the same old thing it gets a bit stale. I do this for me and I'm having fun, so if you don't like it, then... darn.

[@Gyzyn]

Damn it, I hope this game will be realesed on pc someday.

[@neonte13]

I loves me the Mr. Fez! I Love Village! So many hints! Must Not Help! One thing I will say though, is that this game is awesome for gamers like me who liked Mario, Sonic, Street Fightghter 2, Halo, etc but learned to love Chip's Challenge, Shenmue, Half Life 2, Portal, and Soul Edge + Soul Calibur 1-4 because those games would allow gamers like me to play them. In fact, Fez, like most of my favorite games, rewards me for being focused and thourough. So screw fireballs! I'VE GOT LEMON GRENADES!!!

[@EdwardElric555]

I'm too production minded. So I can't think of anything else to do in MC (silly initial-isms) other then kill stuff and go down a big hole to only crawl back up. I mean what do you like to do when you played it?

[@IIIRuin]

This is finally coming out on PC in May :D

[@capacamaru]

Indie-velopment for a long time?

[@GarbageGamerz]

This game has been confirmed for the OUYA so i will be getting it there :D

[@Sycth50]

DUDE! you should totaly do impossible creatures, its an amazing strategy game

[@sinbysin666]

Games like this stress me out!

[@CommodoreFan64]

This game looks really awesome sauce!! too bad I don't have an Xbox360, and I don't plan on getting on anytime soon, as would love to see this on steam, and can't wait for the source of Steam to be unleashed on Linux :D

[@kevin12567]

The main character in this game looks like the little guys from the Katamari games.

[@Koronakesh]

I HIGHLY suggest you play The Witcher 2 for an LGR Plays. I'm not going to say it's the best game I've ever played (That's Shining Force on Sega Genesis) but, the Combat System is unlike absolutely anything I've ever experienced before and I highly recommend anyone and everyone that loves RPG's to check it out. Great graphics and so far great gameplay, I'd love to see you take a shot at it.

[@LGR]

Take Minecraft as an exploration game, with no set goal of collecting anything at all. It's not that (a complete sandbox) is what I'm saying.

[@LAngel2REAL]

This is another lets play but not really cuz I'm playing it.so let me play and you freakin' watch

[@LGR]

Nope! XBLA exclusive at this time.

[@thadbaxter]

the music IS sweet

[@chewygamerz6461]

15:34 nice tetris backround bro (look at the back wall)

[@DragonLS]

What kind of capture card/recording device do you use, LGR?

[@nuckles0000]

I used to enjoy his old hardware reviews. But looks like those days are long gone. What went wrong ? i dont know but i blame it on the beard.

[@Trusteft]

Fair enough. I started playing games in the early 80's and while there was copy protection, there was no this shit with the online activation and limited number of installations etc there is today. While over the years I have bought many games with DRM, I have now almost stopped (just buying DRM games when they are online mainly games) doing so and focusing on buying DRM free PC games and disc based console games.

[@coffeejenmaybetea]

Phil Fish is my inspiration 4 lyf x

[@shurdi3]

I know that this is probably gonna sound stupid but how do yo do The Duke's voice like that?

[@DarkFiber23]

4:28 Hey a Tesseract! I do live me some 4 Dimensional shapes! :D

[@tombert512]

How did you make animations in mspaint?

[@askox]

yeah I know it's people will complain anyways and this is only my opinion. I am sorry that my first comment on your videos was negative ! I really like what your doing and hope you continue doing so as long as your having fun ! Keep on doing what you feel like doing ;)

[@eenayeah]

Man, this game gives me a headache. Not because of the puzzles but because of the looks and perspective switching.

[@TheUltimateGwonam]

You're amazing

[@TheChuckysmith]

Will u do a review of the sims 2 and why u like it better than the sims 3 ?

[@Robster881]

Maybe if we send enough emails they'll release a PC version!

[@EdwardElric555]

"This isn't just an exploration game, you also find these cubes" Finding items as the goal is an game mechanic in the exploration family of game mechanics. Or did you imply something else?

[@raymfa]

You don't need a reason to voice Duke! "feels good"

[@TheFishKebab]

Great video, though you could have shown the level that kills people with Epilepsy.

[@fullmetaljacket7]

Im just curious, how much do you spend a month with games?

[@LGR]

Well I thought it was punny :)

[@ReddoFreddo]

why cant i see this in my subscription box??

[@Matlalcueitl]

Reminds me of C64 Tower Toppler.

[@DazzleQuality]

This game most reminds me of earthbound, could you do a review, let's play, or retrospective on that? Don't know if you care about that game, but who knows, you (yes you!) might like it like I do...

[@charger334]

trippy

[@y3ivan]

the first xbox isnt designed for digital distribution and most of the contents are disc based. I highly doubt MS is going to remove support for xbox360 for at least a decade since MS is making it to a IPTV and a platform for digital distribution. So if it happen that MS decided to remove support, your account and drm is still attached to your account

[@krzysztofgruca1602]

BTW since 1 May, 2013 on steam as requested lol

[@DjSaturnMusic]

stay a while and listen!

[@TheKingwars90]

Isn't this game available on the PC?

[@RegalShock]

CRUSH on the PSP has somewhat similar gameplay.

[@eigenl]

If you're interested in the five years of development of Fez, check out this official development thread in an indie developers forum (oh man, I can't post links). Go to forums.tigsource, pick the Annoucements category and it's on the second (!) page. Awesome and interesting stuff, especially the early screenshots and other .. uhm .. discussion.

[@VicTheVicar]

Let's hope there'll be a Windows release soon. Can't buy a console for just one game.

[@Creative3DMM]

Clint, y u no reviews! :(

[@aev-g8c]

Oh... god... it's... so... colorfull... *drools* But in all seriousnes I would by this game straight away if it was for the pc.

[@memphishorror]

hyper cube!

[@Trusteft]

If this game was available as a DRM free PC game, I would buy it, now...I don't know. I hate the idea of what will happen when the next generation of Xbox (and Live) arrive soon. (remember what happened to the Xbox Live for the original Xbox? ) Cool game and I am considering buying the soundtrack even though it sounds a bit too close to Blade Runner (ie rip off) Well, rip off is a big word, even two, well, small words, but, where was I going with this? Ah yes, thanks for the video.

[@MrTubularGlucose]

@askox You're complaining that this man has been sponsored and is being payed for something he loves? You're also going to complain that he is still pumping out great-quality content just more frequently? Before you go and complain about a KZbinr about "selling-out" maybe you should firstly learn what "selling-out" is. Are you a sell out for going to work ever day? I think not, lay off the man, he is enjoying the work he does and doesn't need your childish comments.

[@DragonLS]

...And I'm an idiot for asking this before looking in the description... >_

[@crazymaner2003]

This reminds me of Castelian/Nebulus.

[@lordcrayzar]

4d shape.

[@Trusteft]

WTF does that have to do with anything? When the Xbox 360 appeared, MS after a while pulled the plug on the Xbox Live for the original Xbox. Same thing with their original music store, and a couple more things. What does 286 and 386 have to do with anything?

[@MrMas35]

anyone know of any RPG's that are low spec but are VERY fun today?

[@LGR]

Might not wanna look into the people behind a lot of your favorites games :) Behind every great game, somewhere along the line there's a bag of dicks. Sadly, it's essentially unavoidable. Some are just thrown into the media limelight more than others. I think it's a shame to bypass an awesome game because of something like that, but I guess that's just how it is.
